Start small, don’t throw yourself into the fire. Approaching public speaking gradually is beneficial in a number of ways. You not only gain confidence by working your way into a situation but you also learn more about your stutter without a ton of negative feelings. The hardest step is putting yourself out there. Start small but think big. Here’s the reality: you’re gonna fail. But that’s not bad, *that’s good.* You’ll learn so much about yourself and the world at large and it will seriously pay off. It’s very rewarding and I have faith in you :)
